Re: refurbishing bbs wheel's diy

I've just finished rubbing down a set of 5 BBS's by hand and my mate is etch priming and then painting them for me and while I'm looking forward to getting them finished and the feeling of satisfaction knowing that I did some of the work myself I'm never doing it again, ever :mad:

It looks as though those plates may work but if you were caught using them the trouble you would be in is far worse than a poxy speeding fine and three points. As far as I know the charge would be obstruction and you dont wanna be charged with that !
